Hi Linda, Great to meet you I have seen you on MHB but didn't realize you were from these parts. Can you tell us more about yourself? What are your main interests within the hobby, or outside of the hobby? Other pets? You know, inquiring minds want to know Besides, I'm just plain nosey

Hi , Lets see.... I was collecting as a child and then got back into it about 6 + years ago. I've only been showing for a couple of years but I'm loving it! I'm hoping to get the courage up to try performance but not sure my tack is up to snuff for that quality of competition. I also like etching and trying my hand at tack making, although I haven't had much time lately to work on anything new. Outside the hobby I like spending time with my 2 kids and hubby Chris, hiking, reading, puzzles, showing my dogs ( I have 2 German Shepherds and a mini Schnauzer) and most recently I have discovered Facebook and its many games (Castle Age, Farmvill) sigh* not enough time in the day LOLLinda Mazza

Are you going to windrush winter warm-up? Sounds like you have a busy life. I have a schoodle, schnauzer and poodle, and I think it is just the greatest all around breed. Both breeds are so smart and when you combine the two, well sometimes I think she is smarter than me. I also have an Alaskan Klee Kai who is adorable, but not nearly as smart or well mannered as his sister LOL We now have 3 Linda's on this board, I hope I can remember who is who
